Abstract
Line-based trajectory drawings face several shortcomings in time-oriented visual comparison scenarios, primarily in their facilitation of the comparison itself as well as in their representation of time. To investigate these challenges, we perform an exploratory study focused on the application of scarf plots to the evaluation of tactics performance in soccer games. While our visual analytics prototype, Kickin' Scarves, manages to avoid the shortcomings of line-based trajectory visualizations, the application of scarf plots to real-world problems poses several design challenges that have not yet been addressed in research.
